RFA Music Festival:
Our goal and mission is to raise environmental awareness and to stop deforestation of our precious rainforest and to protect the air we breathe! Join our team of visionaries, leaders, volunteers, musicians, sustainability coordinators, media and transportation partners, guest speakers and conservation groups in the effort to raise awareness.
Rainforests are the earth’s lungs and thermostat. National Geographic calls the rainforests of the Osa Peninsula “the most biologically intense place on earth,” home to more than 4,000 plant species, 375 kinds of birds, and 140 mammals,including jaguars, pumas, tapirs and anteaters. In 2009, we hosted the first annual RainforestAid09 to help protect the Osa’s incredible biodiversity and safeguard the air we and our children breath and it was a success. With your help, we can raise awareness, increase the standard of living for local Costa Ricans, fund existing conservation and educational programs, and help stop habitat & cultural loss in “The Reserve.“ Existing conservation groups are working hard to protect regional biodiversity, and are chronically underfunded. In holding Rainforest Aid we hope to increase rain forest awareness on a global scale, and empower participants to make better “Life’ choices about nature and with each other. Our children’s right to breath is at risk. Our Planet’s clock is ticking. If Not Now … When ?
Currently plans are underway for the next Rainforest Aid Festival that will take place in summer 2011. If you are interested in sponsoring, donating, volunteering, or if you would like more information then please email Bruce @ globlentrtanment@aol.com
